So Im glad that 173 beats is good and normal... but I don't see my doctor until next Monday... so hopefully I don't hear any bad news from him... one of my friends was freakin me out and told me that the ultra sound people will still give you pics even though there is something wrong with you baby... and not even tell you

I did hear that sometimes you don't find out that you're having twins until later on hahahahahaha

What would my risks be of losing the baby now? Don't they go down if you see a heart beat, or do you actually have to hear it?

As the weeks go on, the risk decrease. Just make sure your taking your prenatels. Take care of yourself and please do not stress or worry too much. Worry and stress, is not good.

Thanks... Hopefully all is well!
No bleeding or anyhting... so I assume everything is fine :-0) I try not to worry too much!

Good for you.
(;

I will post again after my appointment with the doc to keep you updated!
I have this one pic from the ultra sound... it has a bunch of numbers and stuff on it... I wish I understood what they all meant...

They do different measurements and etc,, That is how they determine the age of the baby.

But I mean... I wonder if there are any numbers or any info on there that would tell me something is wrong?

Why are you so worried?? I understand how you feel, really do. It is hard not to worry. I went through two pregnancies with my wife and to me they were nerve racking. Always wondering and always asking questions, always worrying. It is part of being pregnant. You need to understand that worrying about it, is not going to make things better. I know for myself. I could have enjoyed the experiences of my wife being pregnant a lot better if I did not worry so much. Its out of your hands, all you can do is take care of yourself.

I agree with Joe. Worrying is the worst thing you can do right now, you need to relax and enjoy your pregnancy. Really, anything that happens will happen no matter what, so stop worrying and take each day at a time. Personally I think you'll be just fine. I have a gut feeling, and my gut usually doesn't lie.

Enjoy this time, you have so many firsts to experience. The first flutter, the first kick, the first hiccup, the first baby. One day at a time, no worrying, enjoy. Really.

Keep us posted.

I'm trying... my husbands always tells me everything is fine and to not worry also lol
So... my doc appointment is on Monday... I heard that he may listen for a heartbeat? I hope we get to hear one!!
I don't really know a whole lot about this appointment... but I do know that apparently... this is going to be the longest appointment ever haha

Lots of history will be taken. Blood work will be ordered , etc...

So... sorry for taking so long to add my update!
So I had the ultra sound down and the baby was a bit larger then what it would normally be at 9 weeks... so apparently on April 21st... I was actually 9 weeks and 4 days haha
So as of today... I am 15 weeks and 5 days... so just about 4 months along now!
OMG... was I ever sick and tired for the 1st 3 months or so... I couldn't keep anything down AT ALL... I got so good at throw up... that I could do my hair at the same time LMAO... it was well worth it... I'm glad its over with though ahahah
Actually I still DO get sick ONLY IF I go too long without eating... I guess Im the pregnant type that has to ALWAYS have something in their stomach or they get sick... and I mean sick... If I wait too long... I do vomit...
I'm so not as tired anymore... which is great!! I don't really crave anymore... however... a lot of smells really bother me... for example... coffee, bologne, strong smells in the morings make me gag as well... oh and car exhaust used to bother me... doesnt seem to now though... ummm sometimes the smell of toast bothers me as well... OH and I don't eat ketchup on my KD anymore hahah which is weird because I ALWAYS loved lots of ketchup on it lol
I felt the baby move for the 1st time when I was only 13 weeks and 4 days!! Didn't feel it again (or didn't recognize it again) until about 2 weeks afterwards... mentioned to the doc... and he said that it was fine and that I won't feel it move all the time because it is still quite small... since the other night.. however... I have been starting to notice it more often and being able to tell that it's the baby...
Went in to the docs for my second prenatal appointment May 21st... heard a heartbeat!! OMG!! I almost cried!! 1 it was soooooo amazing! My husband was there with me and we recorded it on the video cam hahaha
Here is the link: YouTube - My Baby's Heartbeat
It is all black at first while my doc is looking for the heartbeat again...
If you watch until the end... you can't see the heartbeat on the screen... my doc gets my husband to stand up and come over to it... haha just watch it if you're interested hahaha
So... just for fun... a lot of people are saying GIRL for sure... only 2 are saying it's a boy lol I'm thinking boy... hehe 147 beats per minute... doc told us it was a really strong heartbeat hehe I was sooo happy and relieved to hear that the baby was OK!

Anyone around anymore?

Its amazing. I listened to your babies heartbeat. Every pregnancy is different. Happy your doing great and the baby is doing great.
Thanks for the update and I am sure more people will be around later on.

Ive been a little bit freaked out though... yesterday and today Ive been having some on and off cramping... It really freaks me out... I don't think it's severe cramping though... I mean.. it feels like it's "that time of month"
No spotting and no bleeding though... so I guess I'm good?
Today I am 4 months and 1 day pregnant.

It's really great to hear your story as it's going. I'm in the " i KNOW i'm preg" but I'm waiting for the positive test. It's weird. I just know I am. Keep us updated and try to relax. It's so hard. I'm going nuts and I'm probably 3 or 4 weeks right now. I'll be praying for you. Thanks.
